He was actually in Eaglehawk in 1931.
Registered to vote though I wonder if he was quite 21.

BURTON, Clifford Harry. Lightning Hill, Eaglehawk. Labourer

He and his wife are buried at Eaglehawk Cemetery and details of this  are available.
I am understanding, you do not require information about him after he was 21.

Is this correct?

Sue  Thank you for your reply most helpful no I can trace C Burton from
1931 onwards living in Eaglehawk, info I haven't got is where was he before
he arrived in Eaglehawk

[Renison]

Giblet  Thank you again for help links were successful and informative and accurate,you say he was farm learner is there any way to trace the farm he was placed at upon arrival and details when he moved on
from there?  Regards Renison

In not to sure where to find further records.

But i would try emailing the VIC archives and give them the details you have and see if they have any records of where he was located etc.
